The militarization and the advancement of police forces around the country have been an ongoing debate for some time now. Minority Report is one of many films which shows the implications of having an infallible police force. An infallible police state is when the police hold on to a lot of power and are never wrong in the eyes of the law. This is illustrated in Minority Report as precrime which is a system used to stop murders before they even happen. This system gave police undeniable power and ended up putting a lot of people away. In the context of today's society, I do understand that precrime would stop a lot of senseless and violent crimes, however, giving the police all of that power could be damaging to disenfranchised groups of people who already suffer under the current state of police in our society. The movie also showed that precrime was not always necessarily right and there were some anomalies that showed alternate futures for the would-be murderers. It is also just a gross violation of privacy to invade someone's mind like that. An example where precrime could have been useful is the Charleston church shooting where a white man entered a black church and killed 9 people. Since this crime was premeditated precrime would have been able to stop it days before.

Define Term: An endorsement of technology by society means that society is accepting and approving the use of technology that is being used. An endorsement is a form of public support or approval. In the movie Minority Report society in Washington DC endorsed all the different technology that was being used by the pre crime unit. Should this term be used as part of the society? I think that endorsement of technology by society should be used by society. I think this because technology is constantly growing and society needs to support it for the most part. The technology that we have today to help us with our everyday tasks would not be here if society had not supported it. I think when the technology will only end up causing negative effects on society we should not endorse it. Recent events in the news: I think that if this technology had been in place the parkland high school shooting would not have occurred. I think the the pre crime unit could have predicted that the gu...

The Profit vs Shark Tank Fiona Willman

Personally, I like The Profit better because Marcus Lemonis is there for you every step of the way. He is guaranteed to help your business grow and expand throughout the country. He takes a hands-on approach. Considering my product, I would rather work with Marcus Lemonis. Eventually, I would like to expand my company and put my product in major stores around the country instead of only online. I feel like he would help me more because he would be alongside of me the whole time. He is not only looking for money to make, he actually wants to help me with my business. One major difference between Marcus Lemonis and the investors on Shark Tank is the purpose of both of these shows. In my opinion, the purpose of Shark Tank is to highlight the negotiations. As in, what the product is. On The Profit, the purpose is to get the business to the next level and they show that all the way throughout the episode.

1)An infallible police state is when the police do not make any mistakes. The whole process of handling crime is perfect and no has no flaws. The police system in Minority Report is said to be infallible by the people who live in the area. The administrators and everyone who works at the police department think that their method is flawless because the murder and crime rate has decreased drastically since they began using this system. 2)I don’t think that this should be used in our society because it is not flawless. The creator of the system herself said that the whole thing is very flawed and that innocent people have had their lives taken away because of this. I think that there is a lot of room for error with this system. People do not always act upon what they are thinking and the whole future telling thing can’t always be so reliable. John Anderton, the chief of the whole department, was a victim of the whole method himself. John was set up by Lamar so that he would kill the m...
